It was clear he was passionate about the campground and area, attentive to visitors needs, and overseeing the grounds. We remembered him from our stay at Kintla years ago. Refreshing to see his devotion to the park! We were amazed when he told us his age and humbled. We’re only in our 60’s.

He is in charge of the Kinta Lake campground and surroundings. He and my mother-in-law started as campground hosts 27 years ago, and then in 1993 he was hired as a seasonal ranger. For about 6 months of the year he lives in a remote area of the forest in a one room cabin built over 100 years ago. He has no running water or electricity – only a wood stove, propane stove and lanterns. He is quite a guy.
